man i'd love to just have 500 people following me for my art some day. i've always had so few followers on social media that it's hard to not feel like my art must be dog shit sometimes

Excerpt from Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis, 1943
"The drawings in this book are offered humbly, since there are many draftsmen whose skill exceeds mine, but because of the lack of helpful books on the subject, I submit whatever I have to offer hopefully."

hell, women could not get a credit card in their own name without a male cosigner until 1974 in the us i mean jesus christ was feminism too effective that we forgot how recently women had almost no rights in society

also i think it's real naΓ―ve to think that the pool of inkers being mostly women wasn't a consideration at the time when they had to cut costs. like obviously they weren't doing it out of some kind of malice but the idea of women having careers and livelihood wasn't taken seriously til the 80s

'Sleeping Beauty' flopped in 1959, leading to cutbacks of the animation department in favor of theme parks, to make animation production faster/cheaper. Much of the women were the Ink & Department, yes, but getting rid of women were not why the cuts were made.

Please stop spreading misinfo, thanks.

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

quote reposts were disabled but this annoyed me
1) the op did not say that they were fired because disney was trying not to employ women, but was just pointing out the added injustice, and
2) why you rushing to defend fucking Disney about anything

i think i'm not a very good artist, but i think that's okay, because just the act of making art makes me happy even if it's never going to make me money
